Glendale is helaas in oktober 2002 overleden aan een acute koliekaanval. Ze
hebben hem toen inlaten slapen.
Glendale April 22, 1988 - October 4, 2002
“He was somewhat overshadowed by the big guns here—Roemer, Contango and
Consul—but he was a farm favorite, a real gentleman with a sense of humor!”
said Meghan de Garay, Manager of Iron Spring Farm. “Even while on stall rest
for a year following an early surgery, he’d be happy to show you one of his
“tricks”, as long as you had a nice treat for him.”
On October 4, Glendale suffered from another painful colic attack, and was
rushed to New Bolton Center of the University of Pennsylvania. He did not
respond to treatment, and was humanely put down. His career was cut short in
1995 due to a series of colics arising from an entrapped spleen. After a number
of surgeries, it was decided to retire the stallion from competition to
concentrate on his breeding career.
Glendale was foaled at the VDL Stud in Beers (Friesland) in 1988 out of KWPN
breeding family 716. He passed his stallion test in 1991 (finishing 8th out of
24), and went on to finish second in the 1992/1993 Stallion Competition in
Category A (Dressage.) As a four year old in Holland, Glendale served more than
300 KWPN mares.
Glendale was sired by the legendary VDL stallion Nimmerdor, and joins a long
list of Nimmerdor sons who have passed before the father. Glendale’s dam is
the highly respected Keur and Preferent mare Silja by the Preferent Marco Polo.
Silja’s foal following Glendale, the Keur mare Haifa, is a full sister to
Glendale and dam of the approved KWPN stallion Nijinski (by Libero H), who in a
rare coincidence also finished 8th at his stallion testing in 1998.
Glendale was imported by Iron Spring Farm in 1995, and was trained and ridden
by ISF’s owner, Mary Alice Malone. That year the stallion received the USDF
Performance Award for Second Level, and qualified for the USDF Region 1
Championships (unfortunately, his surgery kept him from competing.)
Glendale made his last public appearance in-hand at the NAWPN Keuring held at
Iron Spring Farm on September 11-12. As usual, he was a crowd pleaser. “He was
always such a ham,” remarked Meghan. “We’re going to miss him.”
